TL;DR
It is argued that multidimensional modeling is lacking in semantics, which can be obtained by using the O-O paradigm, and some benefits that could be obtained are classified in six O- O-Dimensions.
Abstract
In this paper, we try to outline the goodness of using an O-O model on designing multidimensional Data Marts. We argue that multidimensional modeling is lacking in semantics, which can be obtained by using the O-O paradigm. Some benefits that could be obtained by doing this are classified in six O-O-Dimensions (i.e. Classification/Ins- tantiation, Generalization/Specialization, Aggregation/De-composition, Behavioural, Derivability, and Dynamicity), and exemplified with specific cases.

Conceptual design of data warehouses from E/R schemes

140 Citations1999Carsten Sapia, Markus Blaschka +2 more
This work argues that the Entity Relationship Model is not suited for multidimensional conceptual modeling because the semantics of the main characteristics of the paradigm cannot be adequately represented, and presents a specialization of the E/R model - called Multidimensional ntity Relationship (ME/R) Model.

112 Citations1991Fèlix Saltor, Malú Castellanos +1 more
A framework of characteristics, essential and recommended, that a data model should have to be suitable as canonical model for federated databases based on the two factors of the representation ability of a model: expressiveness and semantic relativism is developed.
An object oriented approach to multidimensional database conceptual modeling (OOMD)
46 Citations1998Juan Trujillo, Manuel Palomar
This work takes the concepts and basic ideas of the classical multidimensional model (dimensions and facts) to propose a revolutionary approach based on the Object Oriented (OO) Paradigm to MDB conceptual modeling and presents cube classes as the basic structure to allow a subsequent analysis of the data stored in the system.

This paper presents another physical implementation using an object-oriented database or persistent objects— Object Oriented On-line Analytic Processing (O3LAP)— as a possible alternative, compares the O3L AP model with the current models, suggests possible extensions to the current OLAP models, and defines the elements involved in the mapping of a logical model to the physical one.
